    Go to the log path that was given and see what the actual error is. Given the error message it seems like it was having an issue installing a component which means you'll have to go to look at the component's log file. The setup log should give you more information.

    First thought is a bad file. Have you considered downloading the file again?

    Hi @Binh Truong ,

    > 2021-04-02 22:01:30 Slp:The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.

    Suggest you do a manual cleanup for previous failed installation and then reinstall it.

    1. Uninstall the existing SQL Server and all the components from the add remove program.
    2. Backup the registry.
    3. Delete the following keys using regedit:
      --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
      --HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
    4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
    5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server.
    6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer.
    7. Reboot the machine.

    Refer to the similar thread Installation problem with SQL Server 2017 (Error 1639) and SQL Server Installer says: MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server.
